[my1994z28]

I am in need of a 4l60e converter for lt1,looking for something in the range of 3200-3600...I bought what was supposed to be a brand new converter,put it in yesterday and it was junk..Now the guy wont answer his phone..pm for faster response.I wish I would have kept the car a 6 spd..

Can you get in touch with Ridings? He could probably get you a decent converter in that RPM range.

Did you fill it before installing it onto the shaft? What are the symptoms?

[my1994z28]

No, I installed it dry..per Ridings insturctions,thats what he told me to do when I installed the one I got from him,that went in my buddys z...Its making a woooshing sound..From past experience I have had with another converter,this one is no good

Let me get a hold of my trans guy. I believe the one I ordered is still with him. Wouldn't fit my car (V6), but will go right into an 8. I believe it's somewhere around 3k or better.

Cool,without giving my specs out on my cam,Ridings wanted me to go with atleast 3400-3600

I find it strange he wanted it installed dry, thats the first time I've ever heard that. I always though installing it dry would cause the pump to burn up.

I could've sworn he told me to install mine full of fluid. That way you don't have to worry about how long it takes the trans fluid to get to the converter.

I thought that as well,I even called around..4 different shops told me that same thing

I would never install a converter dry.

[Kwazrollinz28]

mike there ALWAYS supposed to be installed with fluid.

[MP81]

Yeah, I don't think Ridings would've told you to install it dry...

[my1994z28]

He did and so did 4 other trans shops..
